propcheck
A property-based testing library for Elixir, built as a wrapper around the PropEr framework.
What is propcheck?
PropCheck is a property-based testing library for Elixir that provides an interface to PropEr, an Erlang-based property testing framework inspired by QuickCheck. It enables developers to write robust, automated tests by generating random inputs to verify that properties hold for all possible cases, catching edge cases that traditional example-based tests might miss.
Elixir developers who need to write comprehensive, automated tests for their applications, particularly those working on stateful systems or seeking to catch edge cases through random input generation.
Developers choose PropCheck for its seamless integration with Elixir's ExUnit, support for state-based testing and targeted property-based testing (TPBT), and its philosophy of using carefully crafted type generators for precise testing, rather than relying on automatic derivation.
